This year marked the 34th anniversary of the Angelo Del Toro Puerto Rican/Hispanic Youth Leadership Institute (PR/HYLI) – a state-funded program named after Assemblyman Del Toro, who passed away in 1994.
This leadership program – supported by staff and volunteers from the statewide Regional Bilingual Education Resource Network (RBERN) and New York City Public Schools – offers weekend training sessions for more than 400 student delegates across the state. It launches every fall semester and culminates every spring with a three-day Institute in Albany, New York. On March 8-11, 275 students were invited to participate in the weekend event that included a mock legislative session in the Assembly Chamber, where students debated proposed bills impacting their communities.
